Calvin-On the Christian Life

On the Christian Life

by John Calvin from Institutes of the Christian Religion, Bk. 3, Ch. VI. tr. by Henry Beveridge [1845]

This book treats of the Life of the Christian. Its five chapters are arranged as to admit of being classed under two principal heads. First, it must be held to be an universally acknowledged point, that no man is a Christian who does not feel some special love for righteousness, chap. i. Second, in regard to the standard by which every man ought to regulate his life, although it seems to be considered in chap. ii. only, yet the three following chapters also refer to it. For it shows that the Christian has two duties to perform. First, the observance being so arduous, he needs the greatest patience. Hence chap. iii. treats professedly of the utility of the cross, and chap. iv. invites to meditation on the future life. Lastly, chap. v. clearly shows, as in no small degree conducive to this end, how we are to use this life and its comforts without abusing them.

What is “theWord” Free Bible Software Program?

This is a a free Software program similar to Logos bible software or olive tree bible software in which you can read and study the Bible text, and also use other tools like a Bible commentary, Bible dictionary, or Christian reference books.

Search Internet for theWord Modules

This search will find works on sites I have identified as containing theWord modules (like theword.net, thewordbooks.com, Wordmodules.com, twmodules.com, etc). It includes my websites but also where I get my TW modules from. Since this is Google, there are paid ads at the top and bottom that are not theWord related. Skip them. Good hunting!

Springing from Bible study groups such as the Plymouth Brethren, attention was directed to the teachings of the Scripture on such important subjects as the nature of the true church, the need for consistent literal interpretation of Scripture, and the important place given to eschatology in the Bible.

The need for a new definitive work in systematic theology which would be unabridged, premillennial, dispensational, and following a literal interpretation of Scripture became imperative. President Chafer felt called of God to undertake this sacred and unprecedented task. The result of ten years of reducing the studies of a lifetime to writing was recently completed and has now been reproduced in eight beautiful volumes, totalling 2,700 pages.

The general features of Systematic Theology by President Chafer make it clear that we have here something entirely different than any previously written theology.

For the first time the whole scope of theology is considered from the standpoint of premillennial interpretation. The work is remarkably Biblical. The appeal is constantly to Biblical authority rather than to philosophy, tradition, or creed. There has been proper appreciation of the doctrinal heritage of the Church Fathers and the Protestant Reformers.

In general a broad and moderate Calvinism is followed in the theology. The work as a whole definitely belongs within the limits of Reformed theology with certain important additions and qualifications.It is however quite distinct from various restatements of Reformed theology. It is a fresh and creative work, a pioneer in a new field...

This work is a classic premillennial doctirnally solid doctrines book for the serious student.
